Our Heavenly Dwelling

Read 2 Corinthians 5:1-4. What is Paul telling us here? What hope is again presented? How does clothing imagery fit in?

Awaiting the New Body

I have to share a funny out of the mouth of Loren. Today we were talking about Heaven and she said "mom, I don't think there will be bathrooms in Heaven." I ask her why and she said "Because gross things happen in bathrooms. Ms. Kathy (her daycare owner) told me nothing gross is in Heaven and poop and farts are gross." I laughed and laughed.
